1. College of Staten Island

The College of Staten Island's (CSI) nursing program is accredited by the Accrediting Commission for Education of Nurses (ACEN). CSI offers a unique program where students are allowed to get an Associate in Applied Science (AAS) Degree and then get a Bachelor of Science (BS). The AAS program is open to all students and allows them to achieve foundation to the generalist nursing practice. The program prepares you to take the national exam, NCLEX. Students can complete the AAS program in about 2 years. Once passing the NCLEX, they can look for job opportunities. Depending on the hospital organization, graduates with an AAS and RN license are allowed to work as

The website does mention a mission statement and values. The mission statement is about providing quality nursing education to promote health for culturally diverse and urban communities. Located in New York City, in a very diverse and urban neighborhood, the mission statement is relatable to the serving population. The values are diversity, empathy, excellence, innovation, and respect. The school is accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE).

The key words I noted in this statement are social and health needs, individual, family, community, humanistic values, interprofessional skills, technology, social wellness, teaching, and research. On the website for the bachelor of nursing program, there is a mission and philosophy statement. The mission statement discusses preparing students for life-long learning to deliver quality nursing care in a global environment. The philosophy statement discusses the importance of educational improvement for students. There is no mention of a nursing theorist that helps to guide the school. The school is accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE). The program’s website mentions state-of-the-art technology integrating high fidelity simulated patients, electronic patient record systems, and patient-centered care to help students with patient care in this tech-driven professional environment. It also emphasizes that there are small class sizes and 8:1 student-faculty ratio in practicum, something that CSI and Hunter College does not mention. AACN Ten Domains for Nursing are an integral part of the school curriculum and
